Introduction

The 2023 Volkswagen Tiguan carries forward the updates introduced in the 2022 refresh, continuing as Volkswagen’s top-selling vehicle in the United States. Because the Tiguan received a substantial facelift just one year prior, the 2023 model arrives largely unchanged, with only minor feature updates.

Inside, the Tiguan remains modern and tech-focused. It comes equipped with standard digital gauges, including an 8-inch display (10-inch available, depending on trim), along with Volkswagen’s latest MIB3 infotainment system and a standard 6.5-inch or optional 8-inch touchscreen. The cabin is further enhanced by an available 15-color ambient lighting system, allowing drivers to customize the interior mood while on the road.

As before, the Tiguan stands out in the compact SUV class by offering an available third-row seat, a rarity in this segment. Buyers should note that the third row remains exclusive to front-wheel-drive models, as opting for all-wheel drive (AWD) reduces seating capacity to five.

KBB Review Highlights

The 2023 Volkswagen Tiguan stands out in the compact SUV segment with an upscale look and distinctly European driving character. Its clean, understated design and composed road manners give it a slightly premium feel compared to many mainstream rivals. The Tiguan is an appealing choice for buyers who want something practical without sacrificing style.

On the road, the Tiguan prioritizes comfort and ease of use over outright performance. The suspension is tuned for a smooth ride, steering effort is light, and visibility from the elevated driving position is excellent, all of which contribute to a relaxed driving experience. While the turbo 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine delivers adequate low-end power for daily driving, it’s not particularly quick, reinforcing the Tiguan’s focus as a capable and comfortable family vehicle rather than a sporty one.

2023 Volkswagen Tiguan SEL R-Line

Inside, the Tiguan delivers a roomy, family-friendly interior with a flexible layout including a third-row seating option, if you don’t need AWD anyway. The Tiguan comes in four trim levels for 2023: S, SE, SE R-Line Black, and SEL R-Line, carrying over a straightforward lineup. All of the updates from 2022 are carried over into the 2023 model, including the modernized cabin, standard digital gauges, and the MIB3 infotainment system.

Safety and value remain key strengths. The 2023 Tiguan earned a Top Safety Pick+ rating from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) and comes standard with a solid suite of driver-assistance features. Higher trims add more advanced systems such as adaptive cruise control and lane-keeping assistance. Combined with its available third-row seat and broad trim range, the Tiguan remains a well-rounded option for compact SUV shoppers.
